I love a good laugh once in a while, especially at things that are witty and fun.

This guy really impressed me with the way he handled rejection. We can learn a lot from him, can’t we?

Dear Professor Millington,

Thank you for your letter of March 16. After careful consideration, I
regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me
an assistant professor position in your department
.

This year I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually
large number of rejection letters. With such a varied and promising field
of candidates, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals
.

Despite Whitson’s outstanding qualifications and previous experience in
rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at
this time
. Therefore, I will assume the position of assistant professor
in your department this August. I look forward to seeing you then.

Best of luck in rejecting future applicants.

Sincerely,
Chris L. Jensen

    LOL! This is insanely crazy and funny.

    I had a great laugh on how he “twisted” things to be and he is so positive about it!
